(Peoria, IL) – NiteLite Promotions proudly announces the return of hard rock/metal phenomenon HALESTORM to Peoria in a headlining show at Peoria Civic Center Theater on Thursday, September 17, 2015 in support of their new album “INTO THE WILD LIFE.”

Tickets for Halestorm will be $35 and go on sale this Friday, June 19 at 10:00 am. Tickets are available at the Peoria Civic Center Box Office, Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster locations, or by phone at 1.800.745.3000.

Building on the band’s previous success, shards of metal, passages of pop and reams of rock – both classic and contemporary -- abound throughout “INTO THE WILD LIFE,” the exuberance of which is only matched by the band’s passion and confidence.

“On the last record, we hit all these crazy milestones,” frontwoman and guitarist Lzzy Hale says. “All of a sudden the world was aware of us so we celebrated unabashedly.” Indeed, “Freak Like Me” and “Love Bites (So Do I)” both reached #1 on Active Rock charts, making Halestorm the first ever female-fronted band to top the format’s airplay ranking. In addition, the band won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance for “Love Bites (So Do I).”

The accomplishments didn’t stop there. Hale collaborated with “America’s Got Talent” star Lindsey Stirling on the EDM song “Shatter Me” and performed with country maverick Eric Church at the CMT Awards, demonstrating that her versatile vocals mix with any genre. On top of that, Hale was honored by Gibson Guitars, which celebrated her accomplishments by creating a Lzzy Hale signature Explorer guitar.

With “INTO THE WILD LIFE,” Halestorm have developed as a band without compromising their identity. From the start, they’ve had the conviction and songwriting skill to appeal to fans of both Heart and Metallica. Now, they’ve stretched their musical boundaries even further to come up with an album that exhibits a sheer joy for whatever style of music they chose to embrace.

“Doing this album reminded us that being in a band is still magical. And four people that actually love each other and can rock out with each other can experience this refreshing kind of creative freedom,” Hale says. “At the end of the day, we can laugh and turn to each other and say, ‘Look, guys. We are still here! For whatever reason, we still dig each other and we still love making music together.’ And now we can go out there and do whatever the hell we want.”
